TL;DR

Middle-aged men showed greater stress-related cardiovascular responses when they performed tasks at a pace that they could not control, which may be relevant to the mechanisms through which job strain influences cardiovascular disease risk.

Abstract

Middle-aged men showed greater stress-related cardiovascular responses when they performed tasks at a pace that they could not control. This pattern may be relevant to the mechanisms through which job strain (high demands associated with low control) influences cardiovascular disease risk.
